Underwater Locations are locations within bodies of water in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Differences
Underwater locations can be hard to find, but Skyrim does possess several of these. Swimming is also safer than in past games as Horkers and Mudcrabs are limited to the shorelines and Slaughterfish are relatively rare.
